Two days after an unnamed hacker leaked a trove Twitch data including the streaming platform’s source code and information about payments to streamers, users are still seeking answers. Instead, they’re getting trolled. Users complained Friday that the header image for a game listings section on the Twitch website was replaced by a close-up of Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, which owns Twitch, as The Verge first reported. The image also seems to appear alongside the data leaked on the message board 4Chan, a notorious forum where hackers, trolls and other anonymous internet users congregate. While the image of Bezos disappeared from Twitch within a few hours, the website defacement is a signal that Twitch’s security issues are not over, days after a major data breach. The Amazon-owned company confirmed Wednesday that an unknown party had accessed Twitch’s source code as a result of a “misconfigured server.” Caught up in the trove of […]

Twitch did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Twitch streamers earn revenue […]

Operators of an apparent Russian propaganda campaign shared coronavirus disinformation in an effort to influence the American far-right, according to a report out Tuesday by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. The findings are included in a new report shedding light on a long-running Russian propaganda campaign known as Operation Secondary Infektion. The years-long campaign has used regional European websites, forged documents and throwaway accounts to further Russia’s political agenda in Europe. Secondary Infektion is perhaps best known for spreading disinformation through small, local websites, then promoting fabricated narratives on social media, with mixed success. Secondary Infektion promotes narratives in line with Russia’s political agenda in Europe, leading researchers to believe the group supports Russia’s intelligence apparatus. Since 2014 the group has staged a number of campaigns, including using fake tweets from accounts like Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. to spread a false narrative that British citizens planned to assassinate Prime Minister Boris […]
